Just finished my FAFSA.
I just need to get my parent's info. (It wasn't mandatory but I'm sure it will help since my family is in #TheStruggle.)
Do your FAFSA!
Actually, it won't help getting your parents info. The FAFSA deems all graduate students as independent, and they don't give you grants for graduate study...just loans. That's the whole purpose of filling out the FAFSA for grad school - to take out loans, sadly.
And I only know this because 1) I already have a graduate degree 2) I was making no money (straight broke) when I applied for graduate aid through the FAFSA 3) my parents were (and still are) very much in #thestruggle.
Sorry to burst that bubble. Hopefully the loans won't be a heavy burden if any of us have to go down that route!
